Ann Volkwein's long awaited book on Chinatown has finally been released, and we're thrilled. I am selling it at my store. Ann invited the press and all the folks who were featured in the book to a wonderful opening at Fu Lam restaurant on East Broadway a couple of weeks ago. It was a festive occassion with great food, drinks, and lively conversation. Although Ann was very busy with every manner of media asking her questions, the guests entertained themselves by catching up on business, issues, and life. In Chinatown most businesses are so focused within that having a chance to catch up with neighbors is a rarity sad to say. So Ann's opening was a welcome respite from the day's work environment , and we all celebrated a book that is sure to become the standard by which stories will be recorded in this part of the world.
Ann focused a large portion of her book on families and individuals from Chinatown. We're honored to have contributed to this wonderfully photographed and researched book.
Ann will be signing her books for sale at Sinotique at #19-A Mott St. NYC 10013, 212-587-2393, on Friday Dec. 14th, 07 so be at my store by 6:pm and get your autographed copy !!! Great Gift! Ann will share her experiences about what it was like putting together this tastey bit of New York culture.
